' PACKAGE. H

To' all whom it mag concern:

Be it known that I, CHARL as PA L Mrrcn ELL, a citizen of theUnitedStates of America, and a resident of Arlin on He' hts, in

the count of Middlesex .an State of assachusett's, ful Improvements inPackages, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to packages and has for itsobject the productionof a package ber securely hold'in the heads together, thus,

preventing the coi from changing its orig- 1nal shap 1 v The inventionconsists further in several ,details of construction and arrangementofparts which will be thoroughly understood by reference to thedescriptionkpf the drawings and to the claims to be hereinafter given.

Of the dra Figure 1, represents an elevation of a pee e embodyi gthefeatures of this invention. ig. 2 repre nts a longitudinal section ofthe same on the line 22, Fig. 3 represents an endview of the same. Figs.4 and 5 represent, respectively,

- a section and an elevation of a modified-form of head, the entire headbei Fig. 6 represents a modifie a solid head with its'outer portionsquare.

made integral.

Fig. 7 represents aside view, in part section,

' of a package in which the heads are shown secured together by meansofa. wrapping of metal, and Fig; 8 represents a side view, in partsection, 0 a pac age in which the heads are shown secured together bymeans of a plurality of connecting clamps.

Similar characters designate like art S throughout the severalfigures ofthe raw- Truth e drawi s, 10 represents a coil of any suitable materiasuch" as wire, cord, etc. the

ends 11 ofwhich are built up" square, as.

shown in Fig. 2. Against each of the ends 1 1 is placed a head 12provided with an annular oove 13 around the periphery thereof. Each ofthe heads 12. is provi tral opening 14 through which-thematerial.forming the. coil 10 may be drawn for use.

ave invented certain new and use against the ends 11 of thecoil 10 and 1age. form" showing ed witha cen--' Patented June 4,1907.-

The outer flange 15 of f the heads may be round, as shown in Figs. 3 and5, or may he square, as shown in Fig. ,6, at 16.. The head 12 may bemade up of a central eye 17 hav 'in% an annular groove 18 therein towhich tted a plurality of segments 19, or said, head ma 6. When thecoil\ 1 0 has been wound until be made up of one. I piece of material,as s own in Figs. 4, 5, and

the outer layer reaches the. diameter. of the inner flange 20 of saidhead a piece of paper or other material 21 is wrap ed around the coil toprotect the same from Becoming soiled or otherwise injured. This wra per21 havmg been placed upon the coi to envelop thesame, a binding member23 is placed upon the outer periphery of -the wrapped. coil, saidbinding member overlap 'the flange 20 .of the heads and exten 'n'g intothe annular groove 13 thereof. The overlapping 6f said binding memberinto the annular groove 13 .secures the heads 12 tightly .of wire woundwith considerable he heads thus connected together by means of thebinding member 23, which.

may be wound closel or openly as shown, provide a package 02 consderable ri 'dity whichreta ns its shape in. transit an tects thematerial from deterioration or damstead, be placed and secured outsideof the binding member 23 and extend from head to head covering, and insome instances entering,

the annular grooves 13, or said material 21 crush a loosely. wound coil10 within the package.

a The binding member-2 3 may be composed of a continuation of. thematerial forming a 1 part of the coil. 10 ormay be of some 0t er-material if desired; Where expensive materials are used to form themain coil 10 the binding member 23 may consist of a chezzper materialwhich would lessen. the loss 1 it is-to be thrown aside when the coilhas been expended; or it 'may be of diflerentmatrial, as for instance,the coil 10 maybe of cotton and the binding member 23 of wire.-

1 If desired afew wrappings 25 may be v ere the coil The paper or othermaterial 21 may, in-- proj of clamps 24 would be'co'mplcte.

wound around the overlapping portions ofthe binding member 23 to securethem more firmly in position in said grooves 13 and to retain thesegments 19 of said. heads 12 in osition. It is obvious that one or botheads may be square in the same package which would prevent rolling ofthe package when placed upon its side.

which may begin and end between the ends 11 of the coil 10.

The principal object of the invention is to provide heads at both endsof a package and to secure the coil of material forming a part of thelpackage to said heads by a connector whic passes over the material ofthe coil and ties it firmly to the heads so that the package will beretained in shape until the coil is wholly expended. The opening 14 inone or both of the heads is of sufficient size to afford examination ofand access to the material Within the package. The heads of apackage maydlfler one fron1 the other in size, shape, material, or in num-- ber ofparts. 7

It is believed that from the-foregoing the invention will be thoroughlyunderstood without any further description.

Claims. 1. The combination of a coil of material;

an annular head therefor at each end of said coil consisting of acentral eye and a plurality of surrounding segments; and a plurality ofconnectors exten ing from one head to the other to secure theentirepackage together.

2. The combination of a coil of material;

an annular grooved head therefor at each end of 'said coil consisting ofa central eye and a plurality of surrounding segments; and a pluralityof connectors extending from the groove of one head to the groove of theother to secure the entire package together.

3. The combination of acoil of material having a central openingextending therethrough; an annular head at either end thereof the innerface of which is entirely outside of the end of said coil; and meansextending from the edge of one head to the edge of the otherhead outsideof the periphery of said coil to secure the entire package together. i
